Adversity Lyrics - Subhumans

I saw the advert on my TV screen 

Slimline girls and a tea machine 

Housewife proud of her shiny floor 

As if that's what she was living for 

The cat who had his teeth pulled out 

That's what the public love no doubt 

A cuddly gimmick to make you smile 

That cat won't grin for a very long while 

I saw the advert on my TV screen 

Slimline drinks and tetley tea 

Exploit the accent of the flat-cap men 

Like hell the North will rise again 

The comradeship of drinking ale 

The workers' revolution failed 

Too pissed on shit to notice it 

Nevermind where it if it fits 

I saw the advert on my TV screen 

Slimline cars a real mean machine 

It's cheaper than this it's cheaper than that 

It's still ten thousand pounds you twat 

Do I get a free tart with every one? 

Can I drive it off into the sun? 

Has it got a big ashtray? 

I'm hooked on forty fags a day 

You mustn't smoke, you mustn't drink 

You mustn't even try to think 

Just stay dead the advert said 

Eight out of ten people had no brains 

Eight out of ten said they enjoyed it 

The whole damn country died of boredom
